Are you very addicted to gambling??

[nara1892]

I am not addicted but yes I have experienced it a few years ago, honestly addiction is a very unpleasant situation, a lot of mental and psychological pressure that I feel and the reason is because I do not accept that I lost in the game, that means that gambling addiction can most likely be cured if for example a gambler no longer prioritizes winning, because recovering from gambling addiction really requires strong self-acceptance of all the losses that we have experienced, I also recovered in that way.

In fact, losing and winning in gambling is a very common thing. If you accept this and gamble, there will be no problem. Another thing is that you should gamble with money that does not go into your necessary expenses. As a result, even if you lose, you will not create any kind of bad situation. Then gambling should actually be considered entertainment. Even if someone loses in gambling, they should accept it. If they panic and bet in more risky ways to get back the lost money, they are likely to suffer more financial losses. Therefore, gambling should be done with complete mental calm and as entertainment.

It's said that when the use of something is used inappropriately it becomes a problem and sometimes an abuse, so then the only way to avoid such it's been discipline and doing the needful. And I think it's the nature of use or let's say the manner at which it's been used that makes gambling bad whereas the positive sides of it are indescribable and the main reason i gamble is to enjoy the moment which can come in with anything.

Some gamblers don't gamble to enjoy the fun but rather, they gamble for profit. An activity that is suppose to make them happy and relieved them from stress becomes the opposite because they feel gambling is what they can use to transform their financial situation. These set of gamblers will not benefit from gambling because they will end up in huge losses and regrets in the future.

What do you think it will happen to such gamblers that chose to gamble for profits, show that when the profit is not coming he or she will be addicted to gambling, when you gamble for fun there will be happiness and joy whether winning or losing because you are doing it for fun, anyone coming to gambling with such mind set to use gambling to turn to millionaires or billionaires, he or she will not last long in gambling because losses will make him or her to quit gambling before he will be addicted to it, I'm not addicted to gambling and I will never be addicted to it because I gamble for fun to be happy when i see my mistakes that make me lose or win which is how gamblers should gamble.

I believe many of us here already know that gamble is for entertainment/short pleasure which is why many of us do it but it's obvious how some also gamble to make money through it. However there are some successful gamblers but truth be told that winning depends in luck, when you are not lucky you won't win. Many of us have seen gamblers that are addicted, that's why we gamble responsibly so we don't become addicts to it.

Gambling is fine,the truth is  that it's only the weak ones that get addicted.The true freedom over gambling addiction is having control over your choices and money.That way you get less attached and attracted to being controlled by your urges.Choose caution and moderation over self gratification.

Honestly, in my opinion, gambling isn't always about addiction, but rather about how we interpret the context of gambling, whether we gamble solely for profit or simply for fun. Because the two have different definitions. If gambling for profit, the gambler is likely not to last long. If the gambler experiences many losses, they will experience mental unrest & eventually decide to stop gambling.

However, gambling solely for fun & not always for profit is different, which certainly affects mental health because there is no pressure to always win. Winning & losing are just bonuses. The most important thing is the pleasure felt & obtained from gambling, which is only concerned with entertainment.

Gambling only leads people to destruction if they cannot stop themselves. First of all, gambling is risky, gambling platforms are designed in such a way that there is always more loss than win. However, some amount of money can be gained if one's luck works in one's favor. However, gambling is an addiction for those who gamble emotionally and want to get big profits by gambling. Gambling is good to play responsibly, one should not gamble irresponsibly because it spreads quickly.

Yes, that's what happens to gamblers who aren't self-aware enough to gamble safely. It's hard to have fun with gambling, as it involves money, winning and losing. This can lead users to gamble more frequently for various reasons. Those who are able to control their emotions may be among those who have been caught up in emotional gambling and have realized that it was wrong, or they are able to control from the beginning of gamble.

[TrialBitcoin]

When someone cannot control their emotions in gambling then they become very addicted to it. While gambling you should remember that it is only for your pleasure never consider it as a means of earning money. Gamble with what you can afford to lose, never gamble with what you cannot afford to lose. When you come back there again to restore your lost money then you become very addicted. So if you consider gambling as a means of earning money then you are a real gambler, you find a way to control yourself.

How can a real gambler get out of his addiction??

What is your reason for gambling? Do you want to make money by gambling or do you gamble just for fun?

Submit your comment.

One must first realized that he is a gamble addict , without self realization and owning to the fact that you are really into it, then there won't be a change or sign of controlling oneself from gambling. Before you can control your gambling habit, you first have to set a budget for yourself, discipline yourself not to play beyond your targeted budget or amount.

While on a second note, majority of gamblers play just for fun and some to make profit to Carter for their daily needs, expenses and bills. Gambling has helped a lot of persons survive. Nigeria here majority of the Youths are gamblers and that's their source of living so it's not easy for such person to quit gambling because he will be winning and surviving from it.

Generally as well spelled out by you, gamblers should gamble with the amount they know they can afford to loose,  so if they loose they won't get  heartbreaking  and  depressed.

It is true that controlling emotions in gambling is difficult, because here winning and losing creates a lot of tension in everyone, due to which people can easily lose control, but I would say that it can also depend on the person's motives. When you are involved in gambling just for fun, and do not expect anything more from it, then you can control yourself. But if the motives are bad, it is very easy to lose control. And this is why those who can control their emotions, they know when to stop and they can stop themselves accordingly, but others lose control.

From my experience, I have been through a lot with gambling. When you start this hobby it becomes more than just a fun activity especially when you gamble more than you can afford and you start getting attached to it.

I think the thing that gets you addicted to gambling the most is the feeling of challenge when you lose and start chasing your losses thinking that you might win back the money you lose. This is when things go wrong and this is where you should learn how to control yourself because the key is to stop whenever you feel that you are dragged into this circle of losses you will only keep losing.

Gambling addiction is similar to any other addiction so it obviously as difficult to control as the others, you need to take it slow and maybe start reducing the amount of rounds you place each time leading you to take a break from it.

Overall you should make effort by starting to accept the situation you are in and start making efforts.

It's very difficult to control emotions Why not try letting all your emotions out, but with limited money? And when you reach the limit of your limited money, you stop playing So instead of controlling emotions, what you're looking for is discipline Having discipline is much better than controlling emotions.

There is a limit to everything in life, and those who go overboard when it comes to gambling are always the ones who suffer from its effects. They lose everything because they are so reliant on gambling, so any money that crosses their hands will be used for gambling; they don't even have a goal for what they want to achieve. You gamble as though you were investing, so don't gamble carelessly. And if you don't learn to accept any loss then you are only on your way to losing more money. One of the main causes of addiction is greed; individuals are motivated by money when they gamble, and if you want to gamble, you must be motivated by the game. This is what people don't realize: gambling can be enjoyable when it is handled properly. Additionally, gambling becomes much easier when you only wager what you can afford to lose because you shouldn't have any trouble losing that much. Since they already have the idea it won't be hard thing to let there lose go and that will be less psychological pressure.

Yeah, it is quite ironic, because an addiction is created when the addict tries to find the good feeling they got from some behavior.

It is a diminishing return though, so over time the addict will get less and less from the behavior, until it actually is just needed to be normal.

It's a slippery slope.

[ruykeri]

When I first started gambling, I got addicted. Once I lost a lot of money and then when I wanted to get that money back, I got even more addicted and lost a lot of money. After that, I realized that if I gamble like this, I will have to face a lot of financial losses. Since then, I have been betting responsibly. I try to bet as a hobby. I keep a small fund and bet with it, even if I lose all the money, I don't spend extra money to get it back. I know where I have to stop and where my limitations are. If I win from betting, I use that money for other recreational purposes. And the most important thing is that I never consider gambling as a goal for income and I advise everyone to stop taking gambling as a source of income.

[Mr_Brilliant$]

Nah, I would not call it addiction.. I just enjoy the whole thing sometimes, even though I still got Mind in the money.. And that little tension before a bet plays out is it..
But I still know where to draw the line, I don’t let it start affecting my peace or finances.. Balance is key in everything..

How can a real gambler get out of his addiction??

Through prayer and fasting  

dont mind my sarcasm..... Well there are so many ways of getting out of addiction, one of which is that -Those addicted gambler, get a job. If they are busy with their work, they would have little time to gambling excessively infact ehn they may not even have time to gamble at all..... Another is that all addicted gambler should stop revenge gambling or gambling to chase losses. What I mean here is that if any loss is encountered, gamblers should accept it as a reality instead of try to gamble more and more in order to make profit, so as to cover up that loss.
